Everywhere I look this week I see an article on how great the MAC teams are and how they deserve to be part of the BCS process. Just wondering if maybe some of these teams will come back down to earth after a couple of huge weekends for that conference. Could this be the week to go against some of these teams ? Below is a list of MAC teams playing out of conference this week :

Ball St +22 at BC
Cinn at Mia,O -7
Iowa St at No Ill -6'
Maryland at E Mich +35
Toledo +3' at Syracuse
Marshall -13' at Troy St

Will Mia,O cover the TD against a decent Cinn team after their 20 pt win at Col St?

Will No Ill cover the TD against a decent Big XII team after their huge win at Bama ?

How will Marshall fare facing a traditionally tough opponent for big time schools, after their huge win at K St ?

Is Toledo good enough to beat Marshall, Pitt, and Syracuse on consecutive weekends ?

These are just some thoughts i had. Any feedback would be appreciated.After all of the hoopla I'm considering betting a small ammount against the MAC in all 6 of these games.
Call it "Anti MAC Sat "

There are a lot of expert cappers here, which i am not. Is this contrarian way of looking at this stupid ? Seems like the square bettors are making all of the cash so far this season.

I like Miami OH, Toledo makes me kinda nervous. Marshall really has went down hill with leftwich gone. Still to early for me to tell with a lot of these schools, some have some potential possibly but I am confident Miami OH has a good team and that Marshall is a big piece of crap-ola

Any of them that won as an underdog, and now play as a favorite will be faded by me.......Handicapping 101! Take Iowa St +6.5 and ml +240.

N. Ill can't handle handle being favored after winning at ALABAMA!

It's really pretty easy..........

I love Iowa St and Maryland! An "underdog outright win" trend I follow puts Iowa St in a 61% win bracket this week. I am leaning against Toledo (3 upsets in a row just don't happen) and against Marshall too, but Troy St is horrible as well.

Thanks guys. According to that theory one would look to fade Mia,O, Marshall, and No Ill. Correct ?
